Chapter 601

Marcus's hands were around Evan's neck before anyone even thought to move. “She was my daughter, you son

of a bitch.”

Evan sneered. “She was not your fucking pup, and we all know it. She was a whore’s throwaway, one you picked

up as a mistake.” He wrapped his hands around Marcus's wrists and tried to pull them off of him. “IU did you a

favor.” His eyes were dead. This man, this wolf, was dancing on a thin thread of sanity.

Nix’s voice broke through my thought. She is staring at the one taking a photo. Someone else was there.

Someone she knew.

“Oh, Goddess.” The call fell from my lips before | could stop it. Everyone turned, but | was glued to the screen. |

found mine, and | wanted to kill him. “You are a fucking monster. And believewhen | say this...I don’t say

that lightly.”

Evan's lips curled up slowly. “I know.” Marcus's hands tightened on his neck, and | watched as red travelled up

his neck. But his eyes never left mine.

“Wait.” | walked around the desk, putting myself way too close to the others. Rowan growled and stepped up

behind me.

“Are you trying to givean aneurysm?” Rowan growled in my ear. “Don’t do that again.

Marcus turned his face toward me. “What? He deserves to die.”

“I'm not trying to save him. | just need answers.” | stepped closer to the two men.

Marcus growled. “Answers about what? Why did he kill her?” | shook my head. “Then what?”

| turned back to Evan, and his soulless eyes. “Who helped you?”

Every one tensed. “What do you mean?” My father’s voice was icy as he stepped up to the desk, trying to see

what | saw.

“Look at her eyes.” | looked back at the picture on the big screen. My father zoomed in on her face again. “I had

originally thought she was dead because of her eyes.” | explained. “But the truth is there. She is staring at the

person taking the photo.”

My father zoomed in and then growled. “The picture is too old to manipulate enough to figure it out.”

“Whoever it was, she knew, and she felt betrayed by.” Ronnie's voice cut through the murmuring.

| nodded. “Pan to her stomach.” My voice was barely a whisper as | stared at Evan. His eyes stared back and me,

and | watched a

smile bloom on his face.

“You see what most miss.” He chuckled. “I don’t think anyone who has seen this photo realized the truth. No one

but you.” He

grinned as Marcus turned to stare at the screen.

“I don't see it...” My father kept staring for another second.”

| swallowed before | looked at the picture. “Her chest is broken open, and most of her organs are on display.” My

voice was almost a whisper. “But her intestines were pulled out, and they are off to the side on the table.”

“You don’t have to explain it. We see what he did to her.” Marcus screamed.

“Do you know why someone might remove the intestines from a woman?” My words were soft, and Evan

grinned.

“Men would miss the reason with all the rest going on.” Even leaned closer. “But you caught it.” His eyes

searched mine. “Have

you lived through the sexperiment?” He licked his lips. “Vince said he had caught a female a few months

back...Was it you?”

Marcus growled and slammed him back against the wall. “Who cares about the reason?” He screamed as his

hand tightened

again.

But it was Ronnie who let out a grunt as my father passed over the spot again. “Is that a fucking foot?” His finger

pointed to the tiny shape pressed up against the thin membrane.
